Automatic transmission Z is part of Nissan recall & stop sale campaign

[fliplover]

It's 2022. They still can't make an automatic transmission that actually works? I call some sort of BS on this one

It goes. It just can't stay stopped.

Looks like we have another delay and this one may take some time to resolve. Stop sell / Auto Trans - roll away issue (article in Autoblog today).

isn't this old news?

Yeah we're all well aware of this delay but glad Nissan finally admitted it publicly. As the article states, the stop sale in US was in effect from August 29th. It's unclear if it will be enforced in other markets where drivers are more familiar with the handbrake.

Was this ever intended for a spring release of 2022 🥱

Nissan should give in and put the ZF 8-speed in the Z for next model refresh, best auto trans out there, period!

I'd even be happy with the old Nissan 5AT (well, of course the Z deserves better at this price point) that was Nissan's best transmission ever. I've got a Titan with the 5AT, in 16 years it's never once been anything but on point. The 7AT in my Q, and by all accounts the new 9AT constantly do stupid shit.

It's unacceptable, but at least the 7AT is reliable.... I have learned to "live with it"

My prev Xterra’s 5 spd AT never gave issues after 167k miles, just fluid changes.

As of last Saturday they now have a fix for the A/T for the Z. The manager said his proto is available for sale.

That‘s very surprisingly albeit great news!

How much are they asking for it?

The 5spd were perfected during the late 90s for many companies. The design of AT changed substantially after they add more gears. Toyota had issue with their 6AT from 2007 v6 camry and now able to scale-up to different AT. And Toyota was late into CVT, they didn't throw everything into a basket like Nissan did.

I think the issue with Nissan, a boutique company compare to Toyota giant, is they're contend with both CVT and 6AT+ issues at the same time---- just too much for a smaller company.
